Texinfo::Parser NOTES
=====================

The Texinfo Perl module main purpose is to be used in texi2any to convert Texinfo to other formats.  There is no promise of API stability.

Texinfo::Parser DESCRIPTION
===========================

Texinfo::Parser will parse Texinfo text into a Perl tree.  In one pass it expands user-defined @-commands, conditionals (@ifset, @ifinfo...) and @value and constructs the tree.  Some extra information is gathered while doing the tree: for example, the @quotation associated to an @author command, the number of columns in a multitable, or the node associated with a section.

Texinfo::Parser METHODS
=======================

No method is exported in the default case.  The module allows both an object-oriented syntax, or traditional function, with the parser as an opaque data structure given as an argument to every function.

Initialization
--------------

The following method is used to construct a new Texinfo::Parser object:

$parser = Texinfo::Parser::parser($options);

     This method creates a new parser.  The options may be provided as a hash reference.  Most of those options correspond to Texinfo customization options described in the Texinfo manual.

     CPP_LINE_DIRECTIVES

          Handle cpp like synchronization lines if set. Set in the default case.

     EXPANDED_FORMATS

          An array reference of the output formats for which @ifFORMAT conditional blocks should be expanded.  Default is empty.

     FORMAT_MENU

          Possible values are nomenu, menu and sectiontoc.  Only report menu-related errors for menu.

     INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES

          An array reference of directories in which @include files should be searched for.  Default contains the working directory, ..

     IGNORE_SPACE_AFTER_BRACED_COMMAND_NAME

          If set, spaces after an @-command name that take braces are ignored. Default on.

     MAX_MACRO_CALL_NESTING

          Maximal number of nested user-defined macro calls.  Default is 100000.

     documentlanguage

          A string corresponding to a document language set by @documentlanguage. It overrides the document @documentlanguage information, if present.

     registrar

          Texinfo::Report object reused by the parser to register errors.

     values

          A hash reference.  Keys are names, values are the corresponding values. Same as values set by @set.

Parsing Texinfo text
--------------------

Different methods may be called to parse some Texinfo code: parse_texi_line for a line, parse_texi_piece for a fragment of Texinfo, parse_texi_text for a string corresponding to a full document and parse_texi_file for a file.

For all those functions, if the $parser argument is undef, a new parser object is generated to parse the line.  Otherwise the parser given as an argument is used to parse into a tree.

When parse_texi_line is used, the resulting tree is rooted at a root_line type container.  Otherwise, the resulting tree should be rooted at a document_root type container.

$tree = parse_texi_line($parser, $text, $first_line_number)

     This function is used to parse a short fragment of Texinfo code.

     $text is the string containing the texinfo line.  $first_line_number is the line number of the line, if undef, it will be set to 1.

$tree = parse_texi_piece($parser, $text, $first_line_number)

     This function is used to parse Texinfo fragments.

     $text is the string containing the texinfo text.  $first_line_number is the line number of the first text line, if undef, it will be set to 1.

$tree = parse_texi_text($parser, $text, $first_line_number)

     This function is used to parse a text as a whole document.

     $text is the string containing the texinfo text.  $first_line_number is the line number of the first text line, if undef, it will be set to 1.

$tree = parse_texi_file($parser, $file_name)

     The file with name $file_name is considered to be a Texinfo file and is parsed into a tree.  $file_name should be a binary string.

     undef is returned if the file couldn't be read.

The errors collected during the tree parsing are registered in a Texinfo::Report object.  This object is available with registered_errors.  The errors registered in the Texinfo::Report object are available through the errors method.  This method is described in Texinfo::Report::errors.

$registrar = registered_errors($parser)

     $registrar is a Texinfo::Report object in which the errors and warnings encountered while parsing are registered.  If a registrar is passed to the parser initialization options, it is reused, otherwise a new one is created.

Getting information on the document
-----------------------------------

After parsing some information about the Texinfo code that was processed is available from the parser.

Some global information is available through global_information:

$info = global_information($parser)

     The $info returned is a hash reference.  The possible keys are

     dircategory_direntry

          An array of successive @dircategory and @direntry as they appear in the document.

     input_encoding_name

     input_perl_encoding

          input_encoding_name string is the encoding name used for the Texinfo code. input_perl_encoding string is a corresponding Perl encoding name.

     input_file_name

     input_directory

          The name of the main Texinfo input file and the associated directory. Binary strings.  In texi2any, they should come from the command line (and can be decoded with the encoding in the customization variable COMMAND_LINE_ENCODING).

Some command lists are available, such that it is possible to go through the corresponding tree elements without walking the tree.  They are available through global_commands_information:

$commands = global_commands_information($parser)

     $commands is an hash reference.  The keys are @-command names.  The associated values are array references containing all the corresponding tree elements.

All the @-commands that have an associated label (so can be the target of cross references) -- @node, @anchor and @float with label -- have a normalized name associated, constructed as described in the HTML Xref node in the Texinfo documentation.  Those normalized labels and the association with @-commands is available through labels_information:

$labels_information, $targets_list, $nodes_list = labels_information($parser)

     $labels_information is a hash reference whose keys are normalized labels, and the associated value is the corresponding @-command. $targets_list is a list of labels @-command.  Using $labels_information is preferred.  $nodes_list is a list of all the nodes appearing in the document.

Information on @float is also available, grouped by type of floats, each type corresponding to potential @listoffloats. This information is available through the method floats_information.

$float_types = floats_information($parser)

     $float_types is a hash reference whose keys are normalized float types (the first float argument, or the @listoffloats argument). The normalization is the same as for the first step of node names normalization. The value is the list of float tree elements appearing in the texinfo document.

Internal references, that is, @-commands that refer to node, anchors or floats within the document are also available:

$internal_references_array = internal_references_information($parser)

     The function returns a list of cross-reference commands referring to the same document.

Information about defined indices, merged indices and index entries is also available through the indices_information method.

$indices_information = $parser->indices_information()

     $indices_information is a hash reference.  The keys are

     in_code

          1 if the index entries should be formatted as code, 0 in the opposite case.

     name

          The index name.

     prefix

          An array reference of prefix associated to the index.

     merged_in

          In case the index is merged to another index, this key holds the name of the index the index is merged into.  It takes into account indirectly merged indices.

     contained_indices

          An hash reference holding names of indices that are merged into the index, including itself.  It also contains indirectly merged indices.  This key is removed if the index is itself later merged to another index.

     index_entries

          An array reference containing index entry structures for index entries associated with the index.  The index entry could be associated to @-commands like @cindex, or @item in @vtable, or definition commands entries like @deffn.

          The keys of the index entry structures are

          index_name

               The index name associated to the command.  Not modified if the corresponding index is merged in another index (with @synindex, for example).

          entry_element

               The element in the parsed tree associated with the @-command holding the index entry.

          entry_number

               The number of the index entry.

     The following shows the references corresponding to the default indexes cp and fn, the fn index having its entries formatted as code and the indices corresponding to the following texinfo

       @defindex some
       @defcodeindex code

       $index_names = {'cp' => {'name' => 'cp', 'in_code' => 0, },
                       'fn' => {'name' => 'fn', 'in_code' => 1, },
                       'some' => {'in_code' => 0},
                       'code' => {'in_code' => 1}};

     If name is not set, it is set to the index name.

TEXINFO TREE
============

A Texinfo tree element (called element because node is overloaded in the Texinfo world) is an hash reference.  There are three main categories of tree element.  Tree elements associated with an @-command have a cmdname key holding the @-command name.  Tree elements corresponding to text fragments have a text key holding the corresponding text. Finally, the last category is other elements, which in most cases have a type key holding their name.  Text fragments and @-command elements may also have an associated type when such information is needed.

The children of an @-command or of other container element are in the array referred to with the args key or with the contents key.  The args key is for arguments of @-commands, either in braces or on the rest of the line after the command, depending on the type of command.  The contents key array holds the contents of the texinfo code appearing within a block @-command, within a container, or within a @node or sectioning @-command.

Another important key for the elements is the extra key which is associated to a hash reference and holds all kinds of information that is gathered during the parsing and may help with the conversion.

You can see examples of the tree structure by running makeinfo like this:

  makeinfo -c DUMP_TREE=1 -c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=parse document.texi

For a simpler, more regular representation of the tree structure, you can do:

  makeinfo -c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=debugtree document.texi

Element keys
------------

cmdname

     The command name of @-command elements.

text

     The text fragment of text elements.

type

     The type of element considered, in general a container.  Frequent types encountered are paragraph for a paragraph container, brace_command_arg for the container holding the brace @-commands contents, line_arg and block_line_arg contain the arguments appearing on the line of @-commands.  Text fragments may have a type to give an information of the kind of text fragment, for example spaces_before_paragraph is associated to spaces appearing before a paragraph beginning.  Most @-commands elements do not have a type associated.

args

     Arguments in braces or on @-command line.  An array reference.

contents

     The Texinfo appearing in the element.  For block commands, other containers, @node and sectioning commands. An array reference.

parent

     The parent element.

source_info

     An hash reference corresponding to information on the location of the element in the Texinfo input manual.  It should mainly be available for @-command elements, and only for @-commands that are considered to be complex enough that the location in the document is needed, for example to prepare an error message.

     The keys of the line number hash references are

     line_nr

          The line number of the @-command.

     file_name

          The file name where @-command appeared.

     macro

          The user macro name the @-command is expanded from.

info

     A hash reference holding any other information that cannot be obtained otherwise from the tree. See Information available in the info key.

extra

     A hash reference holding information that could also be obtained from the tree, but is directly associated to the element to simplify downstream code. See Information available in the extra key.

Element types
-------------

Types for command elements
..........................

Some types can be associated with @-commands (in addition to cmdname), although usually there will be no type at all.  The following are the possible values of type for tree elements for @-commands.

command_as_argument

     This is the type of a command given in argument of @itemize, @table, @vtable or @ftable.  For example in

      @itemize @bullet
      @item item
      @end itemize

     the element corresponding with bullet has the following keys:

       'cmdname' => 'bullet'
       'type' => 'command_as_argument'

     The parent @-command has an entry in extra for the command_as_argument element:

       'cmdname' => 'itemize'
       'extra' => {'command_as_argument' => $command_element_as_argument}

def_line

     This type may be associated with a definition command with a x form, like @defunx, @defvrx.  For the form without x, the associated def_line is the first contents element.  It is described in more details below.

definfoenclose_command

     This type is set for an @-command that is redefined by @definfoenclose. The beginning is in {'extra'}->{'begin'} and the end in {'extra'}->{'end'}.

index_entry_command

     This is the type of index entry command like @cindex, and, more importantly user-defined index entry commands.  So for example if there is:

      @defindex foo
       ...

      @fooindex index entry

     the @fooindex @-command element will have the index_entry_command type.

Types for text elements
.......................

The text elements may have the following types (or may have no type at all):

after_menu_description_line

space_at_end_menu_node

     Space after a node in the menu entry, when there is no description, and space appearing after the description line.

empty_line

     An empty line (possibly containing whitespace characters only).

ignorable_spaces_after_command

     spaces appearing after an @-command without braces that does not take takes argument on the line, but which is followed by ignorable spaces, such as @item in @itemize or @multitable, or @noindent.

spaces_after_close_brace

     Spaces appearing after a closing brace, for some rare commands for which this space should be ignorable (like @caption or @sortas).

spaces_before_paragraph

     Space appearing before a paragraph beginning.

raw

     Text in an environment where it should be kept as is (in @verbatim, @verb, @macro body).

rawline_arg

     Used for the arguments to some special line commands whose arguments aren't subject to the usual macro expansion.  For example @set, @clickstyle, @unmacro, @comment.  The argument is associated to the text key.

spaces_at_end

     Space within an index @-command before an @-command interrupting the index command.

text_after_end

     Text appearing after @bye.

text_before_beginning

     Text appearing before real content, including the \input texinfo.tex.

untranslated

     English text added by the parser that may need to be translated during conversion.  Happens for @def* @-commands aliases that leads to prepending text such as 'Function'.

Tree container elements
.......................

Some types of element are containers of portions of the tree, either for the whole tree, or for contents appearing before @node and sectioning commands.

before_node_section

     Content before nodes and sectioning commands at the beginning of document_root.

document_root

root_line

     root_line is the type of the root tree when parsing Texinfo line fragments using parse_texi_line.  document_root is the document root otherwise.

     document_root first content should be before_node_section, then nodes and sections @-commands elements, @bye element and postamble_after_end.

postamble_after_end

     This container holds everything appearing after @bye.

preamble_before_beginning

     This container holds everything appearing before the first content, including the \input texinfo.tex line and following blank lines.

preamble_before_setfilename

     This container holds everything that appears before @setfilename.

preamble_before_content

     This container holds everything appearing before the first formatted content, corresponding to the preamble in the Texinfo documentation.

Types of container elements
...........................

The other types of element are containers with other elements appearing in their contents.  The paragraph container holds normal text from the Texinfo manual outside of any @-commands, and within @-commands with blocks of text (@footnote, @itemize @item, @quotation for example).  The preformatted container holds the content appearing in @-commands like @example and the rawpreformatted container holds the content appearing in format commands such as @html.  The other containers are more specific.

The types of container element are the following:

balanced_braces

     Special type containing balanced braces content (braces included) in the context where they are valid, and where balanced braces need to be collected to know when a top-level brace command is closed.  In @math, in raw output format brace commands and within brace @-commands in raw output format block commands.

before_item

     A container for content before the first @item of block @-commands with items (@table, @multitable, @enumerate...).

brace_command_arg

brace_command_context

line_arg

block_line_arg

following_arg

     Those containers occur within the args array of @-commands taking an argument.  brace_command_arg is used for the arguments to commands taking arguments surrounded by braces (and in some cases separated by commas).  brace_command_context is used for @-commands with braces that start a new context (@footnote, @caption, @math).

     line_arg is used for commands that take the texinfo code on the rest of the line as their argument, such as @settitle, @node, @section. block_line_arg is similar but is used for commands that start a new block (which is to be ended with @end).

     following_arg is used for the accent @-commands argument that did not use braces but instead followed the @-command, possibly after a space, as

       @~n
       @ringaccent A

     For example

      @code{in code}

     leads to

      {'cmdname' => 'code',
       'args' => [{'type' => 'brace_command_arg',
                   'contents' => [{'text' => 'in code'}]}]}

     As an exception, @value flag argument is directly in the args array reference, not in a brace_command_arg container.  Note that only @value commands that are not expanded because there is no corresponding value set are present as elements in the tree.

bracketed_arg

     Bracketed argument.  On definition command and on @multitable line.

bracketed_linemacro_arg

     Argument of a user defined linemacro call in bracket.  It holds directly the argument text (which does not contain the braces) and does not contain other elements.  It should not appear directly in the tree as the user defined linemacro call is replaced by the linemacro body.

def_aggregate

     Contains several elements that together are a single unit on a @def* line.

def_line

def_item

inter_def_item

     The def_line type is either associated with a container within a definition command, or is the type of a definition command with a x form, like @deffnx, or @defline.  It holds the definition line arguments. The container with type def_item holds the definition text content. Content appearing before a definition command with a x form is in an inter_def_item container.

macro_call

rmacro_call

linemacro_call

     Container holding the arguments of a user defined macro, linemacro or rmacro.  It should not appear directly in the tree as the user defined call is expanded.  The name of the macro, rmacro or linemacro is the the info command_name value.

macro_name

macro_arg

     Taken from @macro definition and put in the args key array of the macro, macro_name is the type of the text fragment corresponding to the macro name, macro_arg is the type of the text fragments corresponding to macro formal arguments.

menu_comment

     The menu_comment container holds what is between menu entries in menus.  For example, in:

       @menu
       Menu title

       * entry::

       Between entries
       * other::
       @end menu

     Both

       Menu title

     and

       Between entries

     will be in a menu_comment.

menu_entry

menu_entry_leading_text

menu_entry_name

menu_entry_separator

menu_entry_node

menu_entry_description

     A menu_entry holds a full menu entry, like

       * node::    description.

     The different elements of the menu entry are in the menu_entry contents array reference.

     menu_entry_leading_text holds the star and following spaces. menu_entry_name is the menu entry name (if present), menu_entry_node corresponds to the node in the menu entry, menu_entry_separator holds the text after the node and before the description, in most cases ::   .  Lastly, menu_entry_description is for the description.

multitable_head

multitable_body

row

     In @multitable, a multitable_head container contains all the rows with @headitem, while multitable_body contains the rows associated with @item.  A row container contains the @item and @tab forming a row.

paragraph

     A paragraph.  The contents of a paragraph (like other container elements for Texinfo content) are elements representing the contents of the paragraph in the order they occur, such as text elements without a cmdname or type, or @-command elements for commands appearing in the paragraph.

preformatted

     Texinfo code within a format that is not filled.  Happens within some block commands like @example, but also in menu (in menu descriptions, menu comments...).

rawpreformatted

     Texinfo code within raw output format block commands such as @tex or @html.

table_entry

table_term

table_definition

inter_item

     Those containers appear in @table, @ftable and @vtable. A table_entry container contains an entire row of the table. It contains a table_term container, which holds all the @item and @itemx lines.  This is followed by a table_definition container, which holds the content that is to go into the second column of the table.

     If there is any content before an @itemx (normally only comments, empty lines or maybe index entries are allowed), it will be in a container with type inter_item at the same level of @item and @itemx, in a table_term.

Information available in the info key
-------------------------------------

arg_line

     The string correspond to the line after the @-command for @-commands that have special arguments on their line, and for @macro line.

command_name

     The name of the user defined macro, rmacro or linemacro called associated with the element holding the arguments of the user defined command call.

delimiter

     @verb delimiter is in delimiter.

spaces_after_argument

     A reference to an element containing the spaces after @-command arguments before a comma, a closing brace or at end of line, for some @-commands and bracketed content type with opening brace, and line commands and block command lines taking Texinfo as argument and comma delimited arguments.  Depending on the @-command, the spaces_after_argument is associated with the @-command element, or with each argument element.

spaces_after_cmd_before_arg

     For accent commands with spaces following the @-command, like:

      @ringaccent A
      @^ u

     there is a spaces_after_cmd_before_arg key linking to an element containing the spaces appearing after the command in text.

     Space between a brace @-command name and its opening brace also ends up in spaces_after_cmd_before_arg.  It is not recommended to leave space between an @-command name and its opening brace.

spaces_before_argument

     A reference to an element containing the spaces following the opening brace of some @-commands with braces and bracketed content type, spaces following @-commands for line commands and block command taking Texinfo as argument, and spaces following comma delimited arguments.  For context brace commands, line commands and block commands, spaces_before_argument is associated with the @-command element, for other brace commands and for spaces after comma, it is associated with each argument element.

Information available in the extra key
--------------------------------------

Extra keys available for more than one @-command
................................................

element_node

     The node element in the parsed tree containing the element. Set for @-commands elements that have an associated index entry and for @nodedescription.

element_region

     The region command (@copying, @titlepage) containing the element, if it is in such an environement.  Set for @-commands elements that have an associated index entry and for @anchor.

index_entry

     The index entry information is associated to @-commands that have an associated index entry.  The associated information should not be directly accessed, instead Texinfo::Common::lookup_index_entry should be called on the extra index_entry value.  The $indices_information is the information on a Texinfo manual indices obtained from Texinfo::Parser::indices_information. The index entry information hash returned by Texinfo::Common::lookup_index_entry is described in index_entries.

     Currently, the index_entry value is an array reference with an index name as first element and the index entry number in that index (1-based) as second element.

index_ignore_chars

     A string containing the characters flagged as ignored in key sorting in the document by setting flags such as txiindexbackslashignore.  Set, if not empty, for @-commands elements that have an associated index entry.

misc_args

     An array holding strings, the arguments of @-commands taking simple textual arguments as arguments, like @everyheadingmarks, @frenchspacing, @alias, @synindex, @columnfractions.

missing_argument

     Set for some @-commands with line arguments and a missing argument.

text_arg

     The string correspond to the line after the @-command for @-commands that have an argument interpreted as simple text, like @setfilename, @end or @documentencoding.

Extra keys specific of certain @-commands or containers
.......................................................

@abbr

@acronym

     The first argument normalized is in normalized.

@anchor

@float

     @-commands that are targets for cross-references have a normalized key for the normalized label, built as specified in the Texinfo documentation in the HTML Xref node.  There is also a node_content key for an array holding the corresponding content.

@author

     If in a @titlepage, the titlepage is in titlepage, if in @quotation or @smallquotation, the corresponding tree element is in quotation.

     The author tree element is in the authors array of the @titlepage or the @quotation or @smallquotation it is associated with.

@click

     In clickstyle there is the current clickstyle command.

definition command

     def_command holds the command name, without x if it is an x form of a definition command. original_def_cmdname is the original def command.

     If it is an x form, it has not_after_command set if not appearing after the definition command without x.

def_line

     For each element in a def_line, the key def_role holds a string describing the meaning of the element.  It is one of category, name, class, type, arg, typearg, spaces or delimiter, depending on the definition.

     The def_index_element is a Texinfo tree element corresponding to the index entry associated to the definition line, based on the name and class.  If needed this element is based on translated strings. In that case, if @documentlanguage is defined where the def_line is located, documentlanguage holds the documentlanguage value. def_index_ref_element is similar, but not translated, and only set if there could have been a translation.

     The omit_def_name_space key value is set and true if the Texinfo variable txidefnamenospace was set for the def_line, signaling that the space between function definition name and arguments should be omitted.

@definfoenclose defined commands

     begin holds the string beginning the @definfoenclose, end holds the string ending the @definfoenclose.

@documentencoding

     The argument, normalized is in input_encoding_name.

@enumerate

     The enumerate_specification extra key contains the enumerate argument.

@float

@listoffloats

     If @float has a first argument, and for @listoffloats argument there is a float_type key with the normalized float type.

     caption and shortcaption hold the corresponding tree elements associated to a @float.  The @caption or @shortcaption have the float tree element stored in float.

index entry @-command

@subentry

     If an index entry @-command, such as @cindex, or a @subentry contains a @sortas command, sortas holds the @sortas command content formatted as plain text.

     subentry links to the next level @subentry element.

     Index entry @-command (but not @subentry) can also have seentry and seealso keys that link to the corresponding @-commands elements.

@inlinefmt

@inlineraw

@inlinefmtifelse

@inlineifclear

@inlineifset

     The first argument is in format.  If an argument has been determined as being expanded by the Parser, the index of this argument is in expand_index.  Index numbering begins at 0, but the first argument is always the format or flag name, so, if set, it should be 1 or 2 for @inlinefmtifelse, and 1 for other commands.

@item in @enumerate or @itemize

     The item_number extra key holds the number of this item.

@item and @tab in @multitable

     The cell_number index key holds the index of the column of the cell.

@itemize

@table

@vtable

@ftable

     The command_as_argument extra key points to the @-command on as argument on the @-command line.

     If the command in argument for @table, @vtable or @ftable is @kbd and the context and @kbdinputstyle is such that @kbd should be formatted as code, the command_as_argument_kbd_code extra key is set to 1.

@kbd

     code is set depending on the context and @kbdinputstyle.

@macro

     invalid_syntax is set if there was an error on the @macro line.  info key hash arg_line holds the line after @macro.

menu_entry_node

     Extra keys with information about the node entry label same as those appearing in the @node line_arg explicit directions arguments extra hash labels information.

@multitable

     The key max_columns holds the maximal number of columns.  If there is a @columnfractions as argument, then the columnfractions key is associated with the element for the @columnfractions command.

@node

     Explicit directions labels information is in the line_arg arguments extra node direction @node arguments.  They consist in a hash with the node_content key for an array holding the corresponding content, a manual_content key if there is an associated external manual name, and a normalized key for the normalized label, built as specified in the HTML Xref Texinfo documentation node.

     An associated_section key holds the tree element of the sectioning command that follows the node.  An node_preceding_part key holds the tree element of the @part that precedes the node, if there is no sectioning command between the @part and the node. A node_description key holds the first @nodedescription associated to the node.

     A node containing a menu have a menus key which refers to an array of references to menu elements occuring in the node.

     The first node containing a @printindex @-command has the isindex key set.

paragraph

     The indent or noindent key value is set if the corresponding @-commands are associated with that paragraph.

@part

     The next sectioning command tree element is in part_associated_section. The following node tree element is in part_following_node if there is no sectioning command between the @part and the node.

@ref

@xref

@pxref

@inforef

     The node argument brace_command_arg holds information on the label, like the one appearing in the @node line_arg explicit directions arguments extra hash labels information.

row

     The row_number index key holds the index of the row in the @multitable.

sectioning command

     The node preceding the command is in associated_node. The part preceding the command is in associated_part. If the level of the document was modified by @raisections or @lowersections, the differential level is in sections_level.

untranslated

     documentlanguage holds the @documentlanguage value. If there is a translation context, it should be in translation_context.
